Miko entered the house, and took a deep breath "... I'm Home ^_/ /"
she patted her little golem, known as Dante "Good boy on remembering the way to here, Dante, or else Miko would have gotten lost as always! I'll treat you a strawberry later ^u/ /"
the golem didn't seem so pleased "-~-v ..."
she looked around the room she was in, even though she has been into the house before; she was asleep inside her own Noah consciousness, and so currently to her; the house is a brand new place, she does, however; remember and know she was Black in that time

She tilted her head a little to the side "Mii~.. Anybody home?"

The house seemed to be very silent. was everybody gone?
perhaps they had headed out to battle.... or had they forgotten about little Miko?

Then, footsteps on the stairway. There was someone at home...

"Dante~! >o/ / " she held her golem and started shaking him up and down " are you sure this is the hou-.." she stopped as she heard the footsteps, letting go of the golem, she looked towards the source of the sound,
hands over her chest ".. is.. is someone there?"

the person however who entered, wasn't someone she knew from before.
He could have been an enemy... but the 7 crosses on his brow proved he was an ally.... for now, at the least.
The young boy yawned then glared to her with a creepy grin. "Ah.. Miko-san. Welcome back.." he flailed a little with one sleeve to her.

"<./ / ... " she looked at him, cautiously, his 7 crosses did ease her a little, but his grin and glare were creepy enough to keep her cautious of him
"you.. know me?"

"ahh....not too well, though -.-" he folded one of his sleeves in front of their mouth, then looked up to her. "If you're searching for the summer people, they're out. Something about rescuing someone..."

" Rescue?! " her face changed into a very worried one, she moved towards him "is someone hurt?! Who?! a-and where?!"

Miko held his shoulders "We have to go and help out! You must have heard a hint of some sort at least!"

"This has nothing to do with me.." The boy said coldly, but still smiling.

she let go of him, growing more cautious and creeped out of him "who are you..." she took a step back "and.. how do you know me? Why are you here? .."
"You look like an ally.. yet it feels like you're an enemy.."

[im not sure about the rescuing thing thats going on, so...]
Sam looked up from her workbench that was in her room. 'Someone home?' she thought to herself, setting her tools down next to the unfinished gizmo she was working on. Whiping gear grease on a cloth to get it off her hands, [even though its on her cheeks, clothes and goggles anyway...] she headed out her door and down the stairs.
"Someone home?"

Prince was watching Sam work before they heard someone walk in the door. She followed closely behind Sam, skipping down the stairs and standing mostly behind Sam.

"Nana..? I don't remember meeting you before" she bowed to him "Welcome to the family, forgive me if it came late.. Did Chrome-san meet you yet?"
as she heard the steps once more, and Sam's voice, she smiled in relief "Sam-san!" she waved to her and ran to her side "it's been a while!" she hugged her "ne, Nana-kun says that someone is in trouble and needs rescuing... do you know where Chrome-san is?.."

Sam hugged her back "I missed you so much Miko I- Chrome? I dunno..."

She gasped, hands over her mouth "Sam-san.. we have to find them"
She turned back to Nana, and asked him again "Please, Nana-kun.. if there's anything you know about, tell me.. who's gone, for who, and when? .. you seem to be the only one knowing about the rescuing.. when was the last time you saw Chrome-san? And who's exactly missing from the house?"

Miko shook her head, she expected to hear the same from him
"We have to do something!" then looked back and forth between Sam and Nana "there's bound to be some connectio-..." Miko thought of an idea as she spotted Dante behind her
"Dante!" she grabbed him, stroking his head "Tune.. I need you to contact Tune for me, perhaps she's around Chrome-san and he'd hear our call!"
The golem nodded "-.-" and started calling Tune
Miko put her hands in a praying gesture, hoping Chrome would answer the call over Tune

Before Dante could get into contact with Tune, the was a loud sound. the door was slammed.

The slam interrupted Dante "-~-#"
"Someone's back!" Miko ran back to the door, hoping for some good news, her heart was beating fast "is someone home?" she looked towards the door

Before she could even see who it was she found herself in a tight grip. "You IDIOT!!"

"D-Did Miko do something wrong? O~/ /|||" still unable to see who it was; she turned her back to see who was behind her

The person didn't answer. He only tightened his grip and buried his nose in her hair.

She didn't need to turn and look back, his scent and touch was enough to her, she smiled "Chrome-san.."
She looked up to him, stroking his face, then embraced him in a gentle hug "I missed you.. I was so worried when you weren't home-....." she started examining him "are you hurt any where? A-and who needed rescuing?!" holding his hands, still worried
